About John and Annemarie Marinelli

We are natives of Massachusetts. We enjoy the beach, wildlife and outdoor activities; fishing, kayaking, and hiking. We love spending family time on the Island and creating lasting memories.

We are happy to share our home with other families. It has been such a rewarding experience to receive emails, phone calls and thank you notes from families who have enjoyed themselves at 'A Shore Thing.'

John and Annemarie Marinelli purchased this house in 2014

Why John and Annemarie Marinelli chose Bald Head Island

In 2011 we were fortunate to discover Bald Head Island. We were looking for a vacation home on the Outer Banks for over a year and could not find what we were looking for. Purely by good fortune we came across a link to Bald Head Island, NC. We did some research, contacted a Realtor, purchased a lot and flew down to see the Island, in that order. We had never even been to NC before. We fell in love with this beautiful Island, it was EXACTLY what we had been searching for!

Our original plan was to wait four years and then build our dream home. However, we couldn't wait! We were passionate about the Island, it's wildlife, the life style, and the conservation/preservation of this enchanting barrier Island. We got to work immediately; hand picked our Builder, Architect and Designer to help us make our dream home a reality. We could not be any happier with our decision! We know now that it was fate that we found BHI and not an accident.

What makes this house unique

We especially appreciate the casual, relaxed lifestyle of the Island, friendly vacationers/ residents, the varied environments of this spectacular Island and the wildlife.

This past summer we were fortunate to see a loggerhead turtle's nest boil....amazing!

Another great stay at A Shore Thing

Our 2 weeks here was our second BHI vacation at A Shore Thing. The house had everything we needed for our multiple families. It's great to only pack the clothes you are going to wear. The location to the East Beach is perfect with the beach access only steps away. Great house, ideal location, and awesome owners. Can't wait to return!

The is a great house that is very well appointed.

This was our second year with our family. We had a wonderful time and the house is very warm and inviting. I would highly recommend it! The owners are wonderful folks and they are very quick to respond to any needs that might arise. We made some fun memories for all of our family.

Another wonderful week on BHI!

This was our third year staying in “A ShoreThing” and it could not have been better! Everyone feels so much at home here. You couldn’t ask for a nicer place to stay on the island when you come with your large family! It was another wonderful week here, on BHI! Thank you, Annemarie and John, for everything!

Perfect Location. Wonderful Owners.

Walking distance to the best beaches on the island and the Shoals Club, this is a great home in a great location. We had plenty of room for our 15 adults and 4 children. John and Annemarie are wonderful and give you all the information you need to have stress free trip.

A Perfect BHI Home!

We enjoyed our wonderful week at the "Shore Thing" on BHI. It was the perfect home for our large family of 12. The house was very comfortable, well designed, fully outfitted and so well located for East Beach access and the Shoals Club (great swimming pools for our young grandchildren). Kitchen was outstanding. Of all the years we have vacationed on BHI, this would have to rank as one of our favorite house.

Climb 'Old Baldy,' NC's oldest standing lighthouse,108 steps to an unbelievable view of the Island! Visit the Smith Island Museum and learn more about BHI's Revolutionary War and Civil War history.

Visit the Conservancy to learn about conservation and preservation of barrier island's as well as wildlife on BHI. The Conservancy has an extensive program on the loggerhead turtles. The loggerhead sea turtles return to BHI each year to lay their eggs. Explore the three pristine beaches on the Island; sun, surf, sail, fish, swim, boat, crab, kayak, beach-comb or just relax.
